Get Custom iProperties from a file in Vault

[aaron_lucy]

I want to create a dictionary in VB.net from the custom iProperties from a file in Vault.  I am not sure how to get access to the custom iproperties for the file in vault without checking the part out.  Is this possible?

Hi @aaron_lucy,

If your file is in Vault and not on your local disk, you could make use of the Vault API to download the file to your local disk without checking it out and then proceed to fetch the required properties.

You can do that without checking it out if you use the vault api . This is not easy but it is possible. The other thing is that the vault api is changing every release. But it is possible. Please let me know if you are familiar with the vault api and vault extensions.

I do have some limited experience with the Vault API and i was trying to find the method that would return the custom properties.  So for all I can find is the file properties.  A code sample would be nice or even a hint at what the correct API method to use would be helpful.
